Prettyprinting SQL statements

I'm building a Python app that will be making queries to a MySQL server
using the MySQLdb module. The app will need to create SQL statements on
the fly which, in addition to going to the server, will occasionally
need to be displayed to the user. While these queries are not too
complex, they still can be difficult to decipher without doing some
formatting. I've done the requisite Googling to see if a library to
format SQL can be found but, other than commericial Windows apps and
some on-line formatters, I've not found anything remotely usable. Before
trying to write my own parser/formatter, I was hoping somebody might
know of a package to perform this function.

Anybody? Ferris? Anybody at all?

Thanks.
